Sumario:Node devices for IoT1 need to be energy efficient and cost effective, but they do not require a high computing power in a large number of scenarios. This changes substantially in an Industrial IoT environment, where massive sensor utilization and a fast pace of events require more processing power. A custom developed node, using an efficient processor and a high performance and feature-full operating system, may balance these requirements and offer an optimal solution. This project addresses the hardware implementation, using an Artix-7 FPGA2, of a prototype IIoT3 node based on the RISC-V processor architecture. The project presents the implemented custom SoC4 and the development of the necessary Zephyr OS drivers to support a proof-of-concept application, which is deployed in a star network around a custom border router. End-toend messages can be sent and received between the node and the ThingSpeak cloud platform. This document includes an analysis of the existing RISC-V processor implementations, a description of the required elements and a detailed guide of environment configuration and steps to build the complete project.
